National Board of Revenue (NBR) has collected Tk 90901.99 crore in the July-October period of the current fiscal year (2022-23), against their estimated target of Tk 97306.86 crore, reports UNB.
According to NBR’s latest data, in spite of their achieved amount fell short of estimated target, the revenue collection has grown by 14.17 percent on average so far in October, compared to last fiscal year (FY 22).
In the fiscal year 2021-2022, the revenue collected in July-October was Tk 79622.66 crore.
Though the revenue collection target saw a shortfall of Tk 6404.87 crore, the overall revenue collected in the July-October period is encouraging for the revenue board, said an NBR member on Tuesday.
He said that the negative impact of the global economy has also hit Bangladesh.
Despite various crises, NBR’s revenue collection has been satisfactory so far, said the official.
In the current fiscal year of Bangladesh (July 2022 - June 2023), revenue collection target of NBR has been set at Tk 3.70 lakh crore.
